signal service for the week ending June
the week ending June 25, the weather
has been slightly cooler than the aver
age for the week in all agricultural dis
tricts east of the Rocky mountains,
while it has been warmer than usual on
the Pacific coast. In the states of the
Upper Mississippi and Missouri valleys,
and the upper lake regions, the daily

70 below the normal, while ON the At
lantic coast, south of New England,
and IN the cotton and tobacco regions,
the temperature differed but slightly

RAINFALL.
During the week the rainfall has been

coast, in Western Missouri and in East
ern Kansas. The heaviest rainfalls oc-
curing along the middle Atlantic coast.
In the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri
valleys there was less rain than usual,
the deficiency amounting to about an
inch in the states of the Mississippi
valley. The large seasonal deficiency

tinues over the cotton region, and a
seasonal deficiency exceeding five inches
exists in Illinois, WiScOnSion and Iowa..
In all other sections the rainfall for the

GENERAL REMARKS.
The weather during the week has
been generally favorable fer the princi-
pal crops. Rain IN the South Atlantic
states doubtless improved the condition
of the staple crops. More rain is needed
in the cotton regions, and indications
this morning are that rain will occur in
the lower Mississippi and Ohio valley
Dy MOnuay aIternOOn. L ne weather mas
been favorable for harvesting III the
wheat regions, there having been an
excess of sunshine and very lit e rain.
In the corn region the weather has been
gen rally favorable, although in some
localities rain is needed, and the cool
weather of the past week must have
slightly retarded the growth of the corn
crop. In New. England, where haying
is now in progress, the conditions have
been especially favorable to the hay
crop. All crops in this section, and the
middle Atlantic states, have been i'm
proved by the rains, although in the
northern portions of New England and
New York there has been less than the
usual amount of sunshine, attended by
cool weather.
